Christmas Costume Day

Dear friends,

I took several pictures on Christmas Costume Day. Enjoy!


Our fearless Katrina. Please note the whimsical snow people on her festive red sweater! I am so thankful for her initiative in getting this group started a few years ago, and her tireless effort to make it both educationally effective and fantastically fun!

Gingerbread House contest

Dear friends,

The high school students sure enjoyed the first annual Gingerbread House building competition on Monday. My daughter Joanna is going to put together some of her photos on-line soon, but I at least wanted to give you the link to the ones I took: Gingerbread House Contest at Providence

Here are just two of them to whet your appetite!

Providence Thanksgiving Assembly 2008

Dear PHE families,

I enjoyed our 2008 Thanksgiving Assembly and have put together short audio clips accompanied by photographs and captions. This isn't the whole program, just edited selections from it. Just press the arrows on each picture below. Feel free to send the link to grandparents!

First, the PreK - 2nd grade children sing "My Country 'Tis of Thee" by Samuel Smith, and we enjoy Jack Prelutzky's humorous poem "The Turkey Shot Out of the Oven." (These classes also sang the first verse of "America the Beautiful.")

After this, the 3rd - 6th grade classes sing "For the Beauty of the Earth" by Folliott Pierpoint. (These classes also performed "Come, Ye Thankful People.")

Next, the 7th and 8th graders sing "In God We Still Trust" by Diamond Rio, and all of the students say The Pledge of Allegiance.

Finally, we pray for the Clinkscale family as they move to Massachusetts, and we end with the poem "Thanksgiving Is..."

Cloud pictures

My son Micah mentioned that his 3rd/4th grade science class is starting to study clouds. There were some beautiful cirrus ones out this morning before we left for school, and he asked me to take pictures of them to show his class mates. Here we go! Enjoy!

Getting Ready for Next Week's Thanksgiving Assembly

These three pictures have the 3rd/4th grade class and the 5th/6th grade class in them. We were trying to figure out how to line up for singing in the Thanksgiving assembly next week. Hopefully they will remember their positions, because it took us a while to figure it out!
